NBA All-Star Kevin Durant is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines this entire NBA campaign after he ruptured his Achilles end of last season. Kevin Durant sustained the injury during the NBA Finals 2018-19 and has been undergoing rehabilitation ever since. As per recent data, an Achilles injury is a sign of the beginning of the end of an NBA player's career. However, that doesn't seem to be the case with Kevin Durant who is looking to get back as soon as possible. The former Golden State Warriors player has shown amazing progress so far and was recently caught on camera at UCLA practicing his long-range shots.

Kevin Durant's quick rehab can be seen in the video which shows the Brooklyn Nets player shooting threes without even jumping. It is obvious that while recovering from an Achilles injury, one cannot jump or put pressure on his/her heel. But that hasn't stopped Kevin Durant from giving it a go. It's too early to tell whether or not Kevin Durant will be able to get back to his old self by next season but Brooklyn fans cannot wait to see their new signing team up with Kyrie Irving.
